As we know, the last gasp attempt by liberals to thwart the election results will unfold today.

Every elector who is bound and planning to vote for Trump has been subjected to multiple death threats against themselves and their families since the election ended. This level of hyper-hate and this transparent attempt to overturn our peaceful election process is unprecedented in American history. That neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama, as the leaders of the Democrat Party, have spoken out publicly against this (thereby conveying acquiescence, if not downright support for such illegal and even 'felonious' activity) is adding to the shame both already "enjoy."

Obama, Clinton, and other Democrats not speaking out against this are not only bringing shame to their own political party, they are nearly ruining it in the process. They have set a dangerous precedent that acting like election results don't matter, but that pressure from a dangerous mob of Democrats does. They're playing with fire and as most of us who are adults know........when you play with fire, you're gonna get burned.

“A simple democracy . . . is one of the greatest of evils.” ~Benjamin Rush, Letter to John Adams, July 21, 1789

“Democracies
have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been
found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and
have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent
in their deaths.” ~James Madison, Federalist Paper 10

“It
has been observed, by an honorable gentleman, that a pure democracy, if
it were practicable, would be the most perfect government. Experience
has proved that no position in politics is more false than this. The
ancient democracies, in which the people themselves deliberated, never
possessed one feature of good government. Their very character was
tyranny . . .” ~Alexander Hamilton, The Debates in the Several State Conventions, 1787, p. 253

“Democracy
never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There
never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.” ~John Adams letter to John Taylor, April 15, 1814

Were it not for the Electoral College, small densely populated, mostly
urban areas on the east and west coasts would have elected Hillary
Clinton instead of Donald Trump. The votes of the inhabitants living in
the vast central land mass of the USA would have essentially been of no
value, and the needs, opinions, and desires of those citizens would have
been ignored by a President who owed them no loyalty. In fact, it would
be possible for a candidate to win the election by campaigning only in
those highly populated east and west coast areas without setting foot
anywhere in between. That egregious lack of equality would lead to a
dissolution of the country with unfortunate and disastrous results.

Many might be surprised to
learn that the word “Democracy” does not appear in the Bill or Rights
or the US Constitution. Nor does it appear in the Constitutions of the
50 States. A Democracy is “mob rule,” a dictatorship of the majority in
which 51% of the citizenry rule the other 49%. Our freedoms and
liberties are guaranteed to us because the framers of our Constitution,
through past experience and careful consideration, gave us a
Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy . . . A governmental system
based on the rule of law and not the rule of the majority.

After the War of
Independence and the failure of the Articles of Confederation, when our
Constitution was being conceived and written, the total population of
the thirteen colonies was estimated to be 2,628,400. The thirteen
colonies were not equal in terms of number of inhabitants, with Delaware
being the smallest at 45,400 residents and Virginia the largest with
538,000 residents.

Like Woodrow Wilson’s League of Nations — the victors imposing their order on defeated and newly-created ethnic “nations” in a utopian fashion — the later United Nations goal was to create the same and prevent future wars. Wilson naively believed that the League could prevent unethical behavior by states and use force to control them which did nothing but spark future wars. Today, formerly Christian nations in Europe have shed their historical identities to become merely market collectives with no borders, and populations of multi-ethnic tribes warring against each other.

Today’s Tower of Babel

“[Western] nations are obviously evolving into godless societies; they hail not the sovereignty of God but of man, and claim that religious beliefs are essentially detrimental to peace. But it takes only common sense to realize that atheism goes hand in hand with unfettered individualism.

Modern times are times of hostility to religion; it is no happenstance that they have also seen the birth of radical individual freedom. Epicurus long ago taught that there could be no society among men but that which obtains among small circles of friends; it is no happenstance that he also taught that there are no gods.

Inasmuch as a nation is a cohesive body whose members are the individual citizens, it needs some sort of cementing mortar to bridge the gap that the freedom of each unavoidably creates between them, and all the more as such freedom becomes absolute. Building such a bridge presupposes that all citizens participate in something . . . [that] transcends them all . . . binding them without oppressing them.

And since this is the very definition of a religious belief, it must be concluded that no nation exists that is not upheld by some religious faith. Nations are terrestrial vessels anchored in the skies.

But Europe used to believe in a religion that (even though the passions of men led them too often to ignore it) preached a love of one’s neighbor that did not imply hatred of foreigners. Indeed, classic orthodox Christianity always taught men to love their own countries together with all men, irrespective of their nationalities. But then it meant that, just as is the case for individuals, nations – though distinct entities – felt they were parts of the same world; not a political one, since they all retained some sort of independence, but a spiritual one, whose unity was manifested at the time by their common compliance with one spiritual authority.

Today, we have something paradoxically called the United Nations, whose more or less goal is to unite mankind in a worldwide society built on the ruins of all nations. It is our Tower of Babel.”

(The Agony of Nations in the West, Claude Polin, Chronicles, February 2016, excerpts, pg. 13)

Illinois politician Stephen A. Douglas thought the solution to the sectional divide in 1860 was finding compromise with Republicans through amendments to the Constitution. Douglas’s Senate speech in early 1861 listed three eventualities he saw ahead, and knew the last would end the union – as Alexander Hamilton presciently observed many years earlier. Formerly a man of compromise, after Fort Sumter, Douglas implored Lincoln to raise “thrice as many” volunteers, despite his witnessing the subjugation of Americans and the end of the Union.

Stephen Douglas on the Alternatives

“In a speech in the Senate, March 15, 1861, Mr. Douglas had reduced the situation to the following three alternative points:

1. The Restoration and Preservation of the Union by such Amendments to the Constitution as will insure domestic tranquility, safety and equality of all the States, and thus restore peace, unity and fraternity to the whole country.

2. A Peaceful Dissolution of the Union by recognizing the Independence of such States as refuse to remain in the Union without such Constitutional Amendments, and the establishment of a liberal system of commercial and social intercourse with them by treaties of commerce and amity.

3. War, with a view to the subjugation and military occupation of those States which have Seceded or may Secede from the Union.”

As a thorough Union man, he could never have agreed to “A Peaceful Dissolution of the Union.” On the other hand he was equally averse to War, because he held that “War is Disunion. War is final, eternal separation.” Hence all his energies and talents were given to carrying out his first-stated line of policy.”

Sputnik got in touch with Captain of the Syrian Army Antoine
Abboud, who is currently in the old district of Eastern Aleppo and he
shared his side of the narrative.

Earlier in the day, the Russian Defense Ministry said that all eastern Aleppo districts had been freed from terrorists, while some hotbeds of militants’ resistance remained.

“I don’t know what has been happening in the media. I could not watch the television. The soldiers don’t have the internet;
they don’t know what is being said. What we do know is that when we
came to Aleppo the situation was bad. One of my soldiers was killed,”
Abboud said.

He further said that in the Old City there was one woman who got
sick. The soldiers called the army doctor and he said that she was
in dire need of surgery, “The doctor started the surgery right away
in order to save her life,” the captain said.

“People asked us [the Syrian Army] for food, we provided them
with food. One soldier was carrying an old man on his back,” Abboud
recalls.

The Virginia Flaggers are pleased to announce the dedication yesterday of our 24th Roadside Battle Flag in Virginia, and the 15th raised in Danville since Danville City Council voted to strip the 3x5 Third National from the Confederate Monument on the grounds of the Last Capitol of the Confederacy.

Donald Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway joined John Dickerson this morning on Face the Nation to discuss the alleged Russian hacks on the DNC and President Obama’s response.

Conway told Dickerson the actions by the electors to use the Russian
hacking to change the election results undermines our democracy more
than any other conversation that we’re having right now.

After being grilled on CIA and FBI allegations that Russia hacked into the DNC Conway responded:

Kellyanne Conway: I’ll tell you what the
unintelligence briefing we all know is, which is that Hillary Clinton
and her team spent $1.2 billion, lost an election they should have won,
didn’t see us coming, and got a lot of help frankly from people in the
media who are still trying to fight the last war. The campaign is over.
This man is the president.

North Carolina’s Republican Gov. Pat McCrory was just voted out of office in a heated contest with his Democrat challenger.

Those who voted for Roy Cooper over McCrory will probably live to regret that decision very soon.
Impressive tax cuts in the Tar Heel State have kept more money in the
pockets of its citizens, but that wasn’t good enough for the radical
left.

***************************************

And the good news keeps on coming: more jobs, more money for
schools, higher pay.
State governments are constantly competing for people and businesses,
and North Carolina has proved that cutting taxes is a great way to come
out on top. Since 2013, Governor Pat McCrory and the state legislature
have cut taxes by an astounding $4.7 billion — and the result has been
economic growth, job growth, and even additional tax revenue that could
spur yet more tax cuts in the years ahead.

North Carolina’s tax cuts to date have included reducing personal income
taxes for every single working family in the state, lowering the
corporate tax to the lowest rate in the country for states that still
levy one, and eliminating the death tax entirely. To help patch budget
holes, the state also eliminated exemptions to the sales tax to broaden
its base and even the playing field.

A president on his way out of town, like a dinner guest who frets the
next morning that he talked too much and stayed too long, is obsessed
with how he’ll be remembered. As the days dwindle down to a precious
few, he spends his time bolstering his image and polishing what he
imagines will be his “legacy.” He’s prone to inflating accomplishments
and shading the truth about the disasters that occurred on his watch.
President Obama is indulging himself only a little more than usual.

He
boasts in an interview that his pride swells when he regards his eight
years in the White House as “scandal free.” It’s true that no one was
jailed for taking a bribe, but calling his administration “scandal free”
is more than a stretch. All presidents live in a bubble, but Mr. Obama
appears not to have subscribed to a newspaper, not even The Washington
Post or The New York Times, over these past eight years. If he had, he
could have read about scandals.

As members of the Electoral College prepare to choose Donald Trump
as the 45th president of the United States, some Republican electors say
they are defending rural and small-town America against big-state
liberalism and its support for national popular vote leader Hillary
Clinton.

But the picture is more complicated.

"Our Founding Fathers established the Electoral College because those
larger states, those larger areas, don't necessarily need to be the
ones that rule," said Mary Sue McClurkin, a Republican elector from
Alabama.

In Trump's hometown of New York City, which Clinton won easily,
Democratic elector Stuart Appelbaum countered that "we're electing the
president of the entire country," so "the will of the entire country
should be reflected in the results."

Maybe I’m just pissed off, but I really don’t give a shit about what happens to Huma to be honest with you,” one close adviser to Hillary Clinton
told me recently. He was irked, in particular, at Abedin’s seemingly
superfluous breach of decorum during a post-election event. On the day
after Hillary Clinton’s stunning loss to Donald Trump,
this person said, Abedin appeared within the rope line while Clinton
greeted her morose and woebegone supporters. “You’re staff, O.K.?” this
adviser continued. “Staff is staff. You’re not a principal.” (A
spokesperson for the Clinton campaign notes that Abedin was seated
alongside the rest of the campaign’s senior leadership team that
morning. Abedin declined an interview request.)

The
Mainstream narrative has narrowed its scope over the past ten years in
what it defines as European culture. And this has been by design, as
there is no evidence that it occurred organically. In fact, there is
ample proof that the characterization of “Whiteness”
and the deliberate dislocation of this modern concept from its cultural
and racial core—that of a European realization and identity—has been a
massive victory by the Liberal Elite over the collective consciousness
of European peoples. Furthermore, this continued effort to abstract our
self-identity into the synthetic abstraction which has come to be known
as “White” will assuredly annihilate whatever sense of distinctiveness
we still have left while leaving our entire group vulnerable to the
racialist, marginalizing policies of the Cultural Marxist establishment.

The whole point of this endevour has been to pacify the instinctive
urge to defend one’s family, nation, and birthrights. It is that simple.
The result has been the migration
of 100 million non-Europeans into Australia, Europe, and North America
over the past 50 years without a single significant incident of
pushback. This could never have occurred with a group of people who were
self-aware.

Members of the Electoral College from Pennsylvania say they are
receiving thousands of phone calls and emails from around the world
ahead of Monday's vote in Harrisburg, according to a report from Philly.com.

One elector told the website that each elector has been assigned a plain clothes state police trooper for protection.

"Such has been the life of Pennsylvania's 20 electors for
President-elect Donald Trump since the Nov. 8 election," according to
the report.

Remembrance

To die for one’s country is not only an act of bravery, it is THE act of bravery. For soldiers, it is just an extension of their military career, a part of their duty. As leaders have asked their soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the good of the society, it is only right for leaders to go through the same motion. They should practice what they have preached.

As war is seen as a noble act, tu sat serves as redemption in case of defeat. It is also a way to tell the enemy: “You might have won the battle/war but you don’t deserve to win because you don’t have the chinh nghia (just cause).” And it is not only just cause: it is the moral belief that the cause they are fighting for deserves their total sacrifice.

My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.

Great Grandfather Koonce

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.
